"Today I plan to preserve this old ginseng using the same preparation method as red ginseng."

The processing of red ginseng is extremely troublesome, and even Zhang Bei rarely does it.

If it weren't for the excellent quality of this ginseng, Zhang Bei wouldn't have used this method.

The same cleaning process as before was used to clean the dirt on the entire surface of the ginseng. Then Zhang Bei brought the ginseng to the kitchen.

"Red ginseng usually selects some high-quality ginseng and steams it until it is semi-cooked. This way most of the ginseng essence can be locked in the epidermis."

Following Zhang Bei's explanation, the live broadcast room also saw this technique of preserving old ginseng.

Rurouni Kenshin: [It’s really troublesome, just sell it to me and I’ll eat it right away!]

Tianranfei: [Sell it to me and I will pick it up personally!]

Qianli Xingyun: [I heard this in the East China Sea Dragon Palace.]

Zhang Bei glanced at the barrage in the live broadcast room and was silent for a moment.

"I will not sell this kind of aged ginseng, but if you really want it, I will get a batch from those farmers this fall. This kind of farmed ginseng will definitely be enough for your daily consumption."

Zhang Bei is very clear about the thoughts of the people in the live broadcast room. If you buy something like ginseng, you just add a little to make tea and stew on weekdays.

If using ginseng that is more than a hundred years old is too luxurious, artificially cultured forest ginseng is definitely enough as a supplement!

When the ginseng was steamed until half-cooked, Zhang Bei quickly took it out with wooden tweezers.

At this time, you can see that the whole ginseng is already faintly glowing red.

"The ginseng is only in a semi-ripe state now. Next we need to dry it. After it is completely dried, the whole ginseng will turn red. This is also the origin of the name red ginseng."

"In the past, drying was the most troublesome step for people because there was no dryer and they needed to create a stove specifically for drying and control the temperature by feeling."

"But for us, things are not that troublesome. A smart dryer is enough to take care of everything!"

With a smile on his face, Zhang Bei placed the ginseng on the hay and opened the lid of the dryer.

"The temperature should not be too high when drying red ginseng. It is generally set within the temperature range of 45 to 50, and the humidity is maintained at 60 percent."

Only this temperature and humidity can best preserve the essence of ginseng.

Encounter: [Tsk, even if this craft makes a bunch of weeds, I may not be able to afford it.]

Li Se: [It’s really complicated, but fortunately I’m only responsible for eating. 】

Lord King: [Does red ginseng require high-quality ginseng to be made?]

Zhang Bei glanced at the questions in the live broadcast room and then sat on a chair and explained.

"If you want to make red ginseng, you have to use high-quality ginseng, because the red color itself is the essence of ginseng."

"If the medicinal power in ginseng is strong enough, it will even turn a blood-like color after it is completely dried. This kind of red ginseng is also called blood ginseng."

There is wind on the tower: [Holy shit, this is where the blood ginseng comes from? 】

Lotus Star: [Weird knowledge has been added again! 】

Rurouni Kenshin: [So those blood ginseng that costs more than 10,000 pieces on the market are all fake? 】

"Congratulations to Mr. Langke for guessing correctly. One hundred old wild ginsengs may not produce a single blood ginseng. It is basically difficult to buy authentic ones."

After a moment of pause, Zhang Bei also felt that he needed to explain the origin of the red ginseng on the market.

"Actually, most of the red ginseng on the market are artificially synthesized, and the method is very simple."

"Everyone knows that American ginseng is big and looks good, but its medicinal value is very low."

"Many unscrupulous traders will dry American ginseng until it is semi-dry, and then soak the American ginseng in the juice squeezed from forest ginseng."

"The American ginseng that has lost its moisture will absorb the juice of the understory ginseng. After a few days, American ginseng is made using the same method as red ginseng. This is how a highly valuable red ginseng appears."

“If you’re lucky enough, you can even make blood ginseng!”

Naturally Fei: [True lack of great virtue!]

Qianli Xingyun: [Technology and hard work, I didn’t expect that the ginseng industry also exists!]

Black and white: [Minato, can you think of such a solution? 】

Almost half of the morning's live broadcast was occupied by the craftsmanship of red ginseng.

Zhang Bei looked at the time required by the dryer and stretched.

"That's it for the live broadcast in the morning. I'll have lunch and then take you to visit our farmer's market in the afternoon. Maybe you can find some good things."

As he spoke, his hand was already on the button to hang up the live broadcast. When the last word was said, the live broadcast room suddenly fell into black.

Director Hu watched Zhang Bei's live broadcast end, and came up with his urine in his arms.

"Is this red ginseng?"

Zhang Bei nodded and rubbed his big tail.

"This one is big and will probably take more than forty hours. Why don't you study it?"

Director Hu sighed, with a rather resentful look in his eyes.

"We are waiting for the laboratory data. This plant has existed for too long. Now we can only find its close relatives through genetic testing."

Hearing this picture, I immediately became interested. I was busy eating lunch while listening to Director Hu's explanation.

There is no record of this kind of information, and it exists very long ago.

Most of the time, closely related plants are identified through genes, and then the characteristics of the plant are determined through the growth environment.

The process is extremely troublesome, especially the genetic comparison.

The laboratory needs to be constantly searched. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to find it in a few days.

If you are not lucky, it may take several months to find one.

While chatting, Zhang Bei also finished preparing lunch. The simple lunch was just two meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes.

In the afternoon, Zhang Bei drove Director Hu and Pei Tou to the farmer's market.

Director Hu looked at the urine in his arms and was quite worried.

"The crowd won't scare it, right?"

"It's okay, this guy is much more excited than you."

I spend a lot of time in contact with humans, and I am not afraid of such scenes of people coming and going.

Director Hu glanced at the pair of big eyes that were wandering around, and fell silent immediately.

Damn, that’s outrageous!

You call this a wild animal?

Domestic cats can become stressed when brought to such crowded places, but wild foxes are not only not afraid but also a little excited?

Seeing Director Hu's autistic expression, Zhang Bei started the live broadcast with a smile.

Li Se:【Good afternoon!】

Lord King: [This is the farmer’s market?]

Happy Tools: [On the left, what is that for sale on the left! 】

Looking at the crowd pouring into the live broadcast room, Zhang Bei walked towards a kebab stall at the entrance with a smile on his face.
Chapter completed!
